NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Draft Regulatory Guide; Issuance, Availability
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued for public
comment a proposed revision of a guide in its Regulatory Guide Series.
Regulatory Guides are developed to describe and make available to the
public such information as methods acceptable to the NRC staff for
implementing specific parts of the NRC's regulations, techniques used
by the staff in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents,
and data needed by the staff in its review of applications for permits
and licenses.
The draft guide is temporarily identified by its task number, DG-
1129, which should be mentioned in all correspondence concerning this
draft guide. The proposed Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.75, Draft
Regulatory Guide DG-1129, ``Criteria for Independence of Electrical
Safety Systems,'' is being developed to describe a method that is
acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the NRC's regulations
with respect to the physical independence requirements of the circuits
and electric equipment that compose or are associated with safety
systems. The guide proposes to endorse the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers standard IEEE Std. 384-1992, ``Standard Criteria
for Independence of Class 1E Equipment and Circuits.''
This draft guide has not received complete staff approval and does
not represent an official NRC staff position.
Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting
data. Written comments may be submitted by mail to the Rules and
Directives Branch, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555; or they may be hand-delivered to the
